About the Artist

From the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, Frances Neyra Claudio defines herself as a Fashion/Commercial Photographer & Art Director. She started her journey early in middle school where she discovered that through a lens, studying different subjects, and a camera the possibilities of creating art were infinite. Photography became an outlet and a medium to manifest a lot of her personal and home struggles. Her journey began in 2008 at the Liga de Arte of San Juan Puerto Rico, where she would take classes on Saturdays. She then moved to the U.S. to pursue her BFA in Photography at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), Atlanta, GA, USA, which she obtained in 2018. In 2020 she completed her Master’s Degree in Art Direction in Advertising at Blanquerna the School of International Communications of the Universitat Ramón Llull in Barcelona Spain.

Frances specializes in beauty, fashion, and commercial photography as well as art direction. She has worked for several Atlanta modeling agencies and her work has also been published in several online and print magazines. Frances has done work for Ashleen Castillo, Norsan Group, and has also been featured in Fenty Beauty. In addition, several international boutiques, designers, and models have used her talent to put together their campaigns, lookbooks, portfolios, and social media content. In 2017 she was recognized and awarded with the first place of the Dynamic Lighting Competition from HENSEL Performing Light USA.

Inspired by light and darkness, Frances's commercial work is mainly focused on color palettes, energy, and the beauty of the world. While her fine artwork focuses on the contradiction of social beliefs, taboos & identity, her work also deals with themes such as the human body, movement, memory, innocence, and remembering the forgotten. Frances’s work has a tone of sensibility while commenting on human social and personal behavior.
